The Dutch and the Portuguese played very well together.

Ming Jun also saw it very exciting.

After all, this is the first time I have seen two old maritime powers start filming together, and I can learn a lot from their tactics.

This kind of opportunity is very rare. The navy of the Ming army even forgot that they came here to start the war, and they really thought they were here to be the audience.

"boom!"

I saw a Dutch warship on the side, and a shell fell below the waterline, making a hole the size of a human head.

But the Dutch warship immediately responded to three shells and made three big holes in the warship that was fired just now.

These three holes hit the 500-ton warship, actually the damage was not great, but this Portuguese warship rushed to the front and had long been hit by violent artillery. After these three shells hit, it would be like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

I saw that a board on the side of the ship was damaged in many places and could not support it. It was impacted by sea water and left the hull. The board was located on the side of the ship, half of which were below the waterline. A large hole of three meters appeared, and tons of sea water rushed in.

With this huge amount of sea water pouring in, the Portuguese warship stopped and gradually began to tilt. The inclined angle was visible to the naked eye and sank into the sea little by little.

The captain of the Portuguese warship directly ordered the abandonment of the ship because the damage could not be rescued. On the ship, he could only sank into the sea with the broken ship.

"Quick! Evacuate! Evacuate!"

A sampan was released on the ship, and the captain fled from the sampan, but most sailors had no time to get on the sampan, jumped into the sea one by one, and then swam quickly towards the east land.

After the Portuguese warship was sunk, the Dutch warship that sunk it didn't even look at it, pouring firepower towards the second enemy ship.

The warship was sunk, and the sailors could not threaten the warship. The enemy sailors who fell into the sea did not need to be too much. They either drowned by the sea after exhausting their energy, or were attacked and killed by some fierce fish.

On the Ming army's flagship, Wilson looked at the first Portuguese warship that was sunk and immediately showed a smile. The first result had already appeared, and it was the Dutch who made it. Do you think he was in a bad mood?

This time it was a coalition war. The two armies fought together, and they were innately comparative. The Dutch were competing, thinking that they wanted to show their combat power to the Ming army.

Don’t think that you sent a lot of troops this time, so you are the main force.

Wars are not about who sends more troops, who can win. Although we Dutch soldiers are one thousand less than you, our combat effectiveness is absolutely strong, at least stronger than you Ming people. Look, this first result is not ours.

"Sir Colonel, see how my Dutch army is like." Wilson said proudly to the Ming army's battalion officer.

The Ming army officer nodded. Although he felt that the Dutch artillery was a little behind, he had to admit that he was indeed very skilled in fighting at sea, at least he was much more skilled than his own.

If you operate a warship with this backward design and with this kind of artillery with a backward performance, you can also take the lead in sinking the enemy ships with the advantage of the number of enemies. If you were the navy of the Ming Dynasty, it might not be possible.

That's right, the Ming army's battalion officers also admitted that the Ming army's navy had been in the army for too short, and their tactical proficiency was far from enough. They were not a match for the Dutch under the same weapons and equipment conditions.

However, the battalion officer was not discouraged because war was never one-on-one fair, but suppressing the weak with strength.

My Ming army is indeed not as skilled as you. So what can we do? Our ship is big and our cannons are good.

Under the absolute suppression of weapons and equipment, even if our skills are not as good as you, we can still shoot you and scream.

Especially the navy, it is really a service that determines victory in weapons and equipment. Tonnage is combat effectiveness, and artillery is the bottom line.

Wilson watched his warship sink a Portuguese warship again, which was the second one, and suddenly waved his fist with excitement.

God bless you, look at these Portuguese, under the iron fist of my Dutch, they are already at the end.

"Mr. Wilson, do you need our help?" The Ming barracks officers saw that the Dutch had achieved results, and the Ming army officers also studied and felt that it was time to go on their own.

But I still have to say hello before I went there, otherwise I always feel like I, the Ming Dynasty, robbed them of the Dutch.

When Wilson heard that the Ming army was about to join, he was immediately unhappy. Why should you join? I didn’t see that my Dutch army was now suppressing the Portuguese to fight.

You go up! Are you going up and taking our credit?

Wilson shook his head and denied it directly: "No, no, Mr. Colonel, we only need us Dutch to deal with these stupid Portuguese people. I think you should prepare to log in."

Wilson's meaning is very simple, which is to tell the Ming army's battalion officers to not shamelessly come and rob our credit. If you have the ability, go and fight directly. What's the skill? If you see the turret on the shore, do you have the ability to fight? If you have the ability, go and fight the turret!

But just as Wilson finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, and only saw a large ball of fire and rolling smoke coming out of the left side of a Dutch warship.

That's right, just now, the Dutch warship was hit by the gunpowder barrel of the artillery, and a shell hit a bucket of gunpowder. Then Mars lit the barrel of gunpowder and lit several barrels next to it.

Several barrels of gunpowder were ignited and immediately discovered the explosion. After a loud bang, a big hole of more than ten meters was blown out on one side of the ship, and one third of the upper deck was also blown away. The ship suddenly lost its combat effectiveness. The sailors on the ship were rushing into the sea, fearing that the flame would be burned into jerky meat.

This main warship, which was nearly 1,000 tons, was pouring out firepower just now, but in a blink of an eye it became a large torch at sea. This change caught Wilson off guard.

He just boasted about himself and was now slapped in the face, which made him very angry.

But this is not his most insane thing. The Dutch fleet only had five warships, which was not enough. Now he lost a main warship second only to the flagship, and the firepower dropped by nearly a quarter.

As soon as the firepower dropped, the Portuguese felt much less pressure, and the shell density of the 18-pound cannon, which poses the greatest threat, was much smaller.
